"Freedom?" Jiuwei exhaled white air from his nostrils and mocked, "Compared to me, you have already enjoyed enough freedom. How about you stay in this dark cage instead?"

"Nine Lamas, don't you understand yet?"

Naruto stretched out his hand, and several red wooden tentacles suddenly appeared on the ground, intersecting with each other to form a flat surface. As the tentacles slowly rose, Naruto and Nine-Tails looked at each other equally in mid-air.

"I want to let you go, but only if I don't die."

"You want to let me go?" Kyuubi showed a look of horror in his eyes, staring at Naruto in disbelief, "Human, why...why?"

"I know you are very powerful, Nine Lama." Naruto said calmly, "The village needs your power, but I don't care about any of this. I want to be free and live the life I want."

"The moment I became a Jinchuuriki, it was not only you who was imprisoned, but also me."

"I don't want to give my life for this rotten village and become its slave."

"Then why not simply destroy this village?" Kyuubi showed his fierce look, "Damn Konoha Ninja Village! I have been imprisoned for hundreds of years!"

"Humans, how about we join forces and completely destroy this village?"

"No." Naruto refused directly.

"Why?" Kyuubi was puzzled, "Don't you hate that village?"

"I don't hate it." Naruto shook his head.

Of course he didn't hate it. He had only traveled a few days and he could only be said to be dissatisfied with the village but it was far from the level of hatred. As for the matter between Namikaze Minato and Shinkuna, what did it have to do with him? He had already figured it out.

As long as he is a Jinchuriki, he will never be free.

The village is still the same village, and as long as he doesn't become a jinchuriki, whoever wants to do it, he doesn't care.

"I said, I want to be free, but I don't want to be a slave to freedom." Naruto shook his head and said, "People will eventually become a slave to something because of their obsessions."

"But I am already so rich and my strength is not weak. I would rather indulge in beauty and fine wine and spend my life as I please than be a savior."

Kyuubi was stunned, he looked at Naruto and asked with some confusion.

"Human, don't you long for power?"

"Nine Lama, your power is too weak." Naruto said bluntly.

"What did you say?"

"I do not care."

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Kyuubi was obviously a little unsure, "Kid, the combined tailed beasts in the ninja world are not enough for me to fight alone, so you think I'm weak?"

"Don't waste time on such unimportant things." Naruto said impatiently, "Nine Lama, let me ask you, do you want to go out?"

"Of course I do."

"That's good, I will come to you again when the time comes."

Naruto said, snapping his fingers, and the cell returned to its original spacious appearance.

“What do you mean it’s time?”

However, Naruto did not answer, and his consciousness turned into a shadow and left directly.

The next day.

The dinging alarm clock rang, and Naruto sat up from the bed sleepily, dragging his still-yet-awake body to wash up. He wiped the water mist on the mirror and forced a smile.

As soon as they left the alley, a Kirigakure ninja wearing a hat suddenly appeared and shouted involuntarily.

"Kid! Go to hell!"

The man shouted like that and was about to rush towards Naruto.

"Wait!" Naruto stopped the man directly.

"What?"

The man actually stopped and forced himself to laugh.

"What? Kid, begging for mercy is of no use!"

Naruto yawned and said nonchalantly.

"Uncle, I am the number one newcomer graduating from the ninja school this year. Your poor transformation skills are too obvious, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you kid?" Cold sweat broke out on the Kirigakure ninja's forehead.

"I remember that even if a chuunin does not perform dangerous tasks, the salary is not very high, right? To tell you the truth, I have killed the jounin of Kirigakure, and the blood is all over my face. If I were injured, I would still be injured.

It will delay work and is totally not worth it.”

Naruto waved his hand and walked towards the disguised Kirigakure ninja without any scruples, saying as he walked.

"Uncle, how much do you earn in a month? Why are you playing with your life?"

"Ah, the time is almost up, I'll leave first."

Naruto passed by the Kirigakure ninja, but the Kirigakure ninja made no move and let Naruto leave with a cold sweat.

It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that the Kirigakure ninja released his transformation technique with a bang. The man was dressed like a Konoha Chuunin. He was still frightened at this moment, so he looked back and said.

"What kind of monsters are the genin these days?"

Ninja School, after many days, Class 7 finally got together.

Sasuke and Sakura looked unchanged. Sakura smiled and waved to Naruto.

"This way, Naruto."

"Sakura, am I not late?" Naruto said with a smile.

Sakura shook her head and said.

"I just arrived, and something happened on the way."

"It's not a ninja from Kirigakure, is it?"

"Eh? Naruto, have you met him too?" Sakura's eyes widened and she let out a cry of surprise.

Randomly, she looked at Sasuke who was standing aside. Sasuke glanced at Sakura and Naruto, didn't say anything and just nodded, realizing that he had met them too.

"It's probably another weird test held by the village. It's so boring." Naruto complained as he stood there.

"Then you two are not injured, are you?" Sakura asked worriedly.

"No." Sasuke said concisely.

"There's no fight." Naruto said.

"How come?" Sakura was a little surprised, "There was no battle? Didn't Kirigakure's ninjas attack you, Naruto?"

Hearing this, Sasuke also turned his head and looked at Naruto.

"No, I asked him how much he earned per month, and he stopped talking."

Sakura: "......"

Sasuke: "......"

It’s true that Galen’s whispers, silence and defence-breaking, are actually murderous and even more heart-wrenching!

After a while, the other classes arrived at the ninja school one after another.

The trio of Ino, Deer, and Butterflies looked lackluster. Naruto happened to look at Hinata, who lowered her head with a red face. Ino looked at Naruto, and Naruto just happened to catch Ino's gaze and simply stepped forward.

Went to talk to three people.

All of this was caught in Sakura's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"We haven't seen each other for a while. Since when did Naruto and Ino have such a good relationship?"

Sasuke didn't have the time to care about such boring things. The time to submit the Chunin Examination Admission Ticket hadn't come yet, so he just stood there with his eyes closed and meditated.

"Let me tell you, Naruto, you were temporarily pulled over to take the Chunin exam, right?" Shikamaru asked lazily, "Why did I hear before that Master Hokage wouldn't let you take the Chunin exam? What's going on?"

"Is there such a thing?" Choji kept eating potato chips and looked at Naruto in surprise.
